At least the guy had a cute girlfriend. Lol

This guy also was the winning bidder of the Nash N173 in the August Saco auction. I believe that he paid over $5000 with the vig which is 2-3x what I think it is worth. Now he is selling it on EBay:

Can it be long before the Atlantics card hits Ebay. This gets funnier and funnier.

Jay, looks like he is not taking a chance of losing money with an EBAY auction. Just put a higher buy it now price.

Joking aside, The buyer looked to be genuinely glad to have won the card at auction, and the purchase is certainly a better investment than say, a new 7 series BMW sedan for the same money. For a better investment, I would think Exxon stock or municipal bonds, but those are not as much fun to own.

He said he was buying it for his sick son. If he is selling it in the near future, which some people have indicated, then this would not be an investment. If he was planning to sell it in the distant future then it most likely wouldn't be for his sick son. Some questions still remain unanswered.

If he was buying for investment purposes then I would have bought one of the Planks recently sold at auction.

From one of the four threads posted on this today.

I get the feeling that if you don't say "Yes sir" a lot to Nash, that he's going to do his best to destroy you. Sorry Troy had to go through that experience. My phone conversations with Troy were always enjoyable.

I wonder how much investigation Peter Nash did on Peter Nash? And when do you suppose we get to read about it on Haulsofshame?

I'm thinking that was the model that held the card during the auction. Oddly, the use of a model does make the card look more appealing...

Being a jaded Canadian tax lawyer, I often think purchasers list items for resale so they can escape state sales taxes by using the resellers tax exemption. If someone pays the huge markup, great, but if not, the purchaser has saved the taxes
